Movento Energy is an innovative insecticide from Bayer Crop Science designed for the long-lasting control of a wide range of sucking pests. It stands out due to its unique two-way systemic action, which provides comprehensive protection throughout the plant.

Key Features of Movento Energy:

• Active Ingredients:

  • Spirotetramat 11.01% w/w

  • Imidacloprid 11.01% w/w

• Formulation Type: SC (Suspension Concentrate)

• Mode of Action: Movento Energy combines two distinct modes of action:

  • Spirotetramat: This is a ketoenol insecticide that inhibits lipid biosynthesis in insects. This disrupts the formation of essential fats and waxes, leading to the death of the pest. It has a unique two-way systemic action, moving both upwards (acropetal) and downwards (basipetal) in the plant.

  • Imidacloprid: This is a neonicotinoid insecticide that acts on the insect's nervous system, disrupting nerve signal transmission and causing paralysis. It has systemic activity, moving upwards in the plant.

• Target Pests: Movento Energy is highly effective against a broad spectrum of sucking pests, including:

  • Aphids

  • Whiteflies

  • Thrips

  • Scales

  • Mealybugs

  • Psyllids

• Crops: Movento Energy is registered for use on a variety of crops, including:

  • Vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, etc.)

  • Fruits (citrus, grapes, pome fruit, stone fruit, etc.)

  • Cotton

  • Hops

  • Potatoes

Benefits:

• Two-Way Systemic Action: This ensures that the active ingredients reach all parts of the plant, including new growth, providing comprehensive protection against pests.

• Long-Lasting Control: Movento Energy offers extended residual control, reducing the frequency of applications.

• Broad-Spectrum Activity: It effectively controls a wide range of sucking pests.

• Improved Plant Health: By controlling pests, Movento Energy helps to improve plant health and vigor, leading to increased yields.

• Compatible with IPM: It can be integrated into Integrated Pest Management programs.

Important Considerations:

• Always read and follow the instructions on the product label before using Movento Energy or any other pesticide. This includes information on application rates, safety precautions, pre-harvest intervals, and any specific restrictions.

• Resistance Management: To prevent the development of insecticide resistance, it's important to use Movento Energy as part of an integrated pest management program that includes diverse control methods.

• Pollinator Safety: Although Movento Energy has a lower impact on bees than some other neonicotinoids, it's still important to follow label instructions carefully and take precautions to minimize exposure to pollinators.
